‘The said complaint is motivated and preposterous and has been only filed to intimidate me and pressurise me to withdraw the arbitration proceedings initiated by me in the first instance to recover my dues and damages resulting from breach of contract.”

She maintained that she had not made any misrepresentations, and “maintained the highest standards of ethics in discharge of my work”. She claimed that she had challenged the termination of the contract and had invoked arbitration to recover her dues.

She said that the company had initiated the proceedings with the only intention to harass and pressurise her to given in to the flimsy and frivolous claims.

Khan has vowed to give a befitting response to the complaint.

“Such complaints do not scare me. Rather it encourages me to stand up for the truth. The allegations in complaints are false and defamatory and I will take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law,” she said.
